HOW TO START LOCUMS IN 30 DAYS
For physicians who want more freedom (without sacrificing their income)
How I went from a burned-out Emergency Physician… to only working 8 shifts per month, traveling the world, & STILL making $300k+ per year
These doctors took the leap.
Now they’re earning more, living free, and never looking back.
For the first time I feel like I am in control of my schedule, my income, and my life. I cannot see myself going back to W2.
I started locums right out of fellowship and a lot of people tried to talk me out of it. The hardest part early on was not having guidance. I was figuring everything out on my own with no one to turn to. Joining LocumOS changed that. Having access to Ali and the community gave me real insight into EM job markets, contracts, and how to navigate this space with confidence. That alone made a huge difference. It’s been a little over a year since I fully transitioned from W2 to locums and I can honestly say I couldn’t be happier. The flexibility is priceless. For the first time, I feel like I’m in control of my schedule, my income, and my life. The LocumOS community has also been great. Being able to connect with other physicians, ask questions, and learn from people in the same position has been incredibly valuable. I can’t see myself going back to W2.
Ali and LocumOS have helped me feel more confident transitioning from W2 to 1099 work.
Ali and LocumOS have helped me feel more confident transitioning from W2 to 1099 work. Even though I had already done a lot of research and set up many components to becoming a 1099 contractor including my own PLLC, LocumOS helped ease my fear of the unknown and I think that’s invaluable to actually taking action and not getting frozen in analysis paralysis. Furthermore, Ali and the program have helped me shift my identity from being completely tied to being a physician towards medicine being a part of my identity, and I think this is a healthier outlook for our careers and in general. Lastly, there is regular engagement on new practical/actionable ideas and tools in a community of people who question the norm and have an entrepreneurial spirit. Thanks for all you do!
Joined February 2026, transitioned to full time locums in OB-GYN by March 2026.
I joined LocumOS in 2/2026 and transitioned to full time locum tenens in OB-GYN March 2026. The videos were invaluable. In addition, I joined in on several calls for coaching. I am now enjoying time, money, and location freedom. I still have alot to learn but the transition from W2 to 1099 was not as daunting as anticipated.
I joined LocumOS March 2026. I’ve watched all the videos and participate in the weekly calls. I was approved by my first site within 2 weeks.
I joined LocumOS March 2026. I’ve watched all the videos and participate in the weekly calls. The videos and Ali’s guidance alone are priceless. Hearing how it’s transformed other people’s lives lets me know that this is the true path to accelerate reaching my goals and creating the life I want to live. I’m already 1099 but the idea is the same in that I don’t control my schedule and therefore my life. I haven’t officially done my 1st Locum shift but I was approved by my 1st site within 2 weeks. I’m excited for this journey. Thank you Ali.
After a significant amount of self-reflection over the past few months, I’ve come to see how becoming a locum full-time better aligns with my core values.
I recently joined LocumsOS after learning more about the program from social media. I made the decision in the past month to transition away from my full time W2 position in Emergency Medicine into full time locums, and am planning the transition full time in the fall of 2026. I initially learned about locums in 2025 and reached out to Ali last summer after seeing a post of his on EM Docs Jobs, but was initially hesitant about making the leap. At the time, it was a combination of being uncertain of the unknown, and being “comfortable staying comfortable” in a w2 position.. However, after a significant amount of self reflection over the past few months, I’ve come to see how becoming locums full time better aligns with my core values. Through Alis book, website videos, and podcasts, it has shown me that there is a way to regain balance in my professional and personal life. I truly believe that this path not only makes for better physicians, but also makes for more balanced and fulfilled individuals. I’m looking forward to learning more along the journey and I’m excited about making the change.This resource has been invaluable!
Instead of piecing together advice from forums and guesswork, LocumOS provides a true support system physicians can rely on.
LocumOS does a great job of providing a complete system for physicians looking to get started in locums and move forward with confidence.
Like myself, most doctors come out of residency with skills focused almost exclusively on medicine. Having the business side of locums organized into a clear, well-structured system was invaluable. Instead of feeling scattered or unsure where to begin, everything was broken down into clean, digestible pieces that actually made sense. The content was efficient yet thorough, making it easy to plug into the system whenever I had a few minutes of downtime. The mobile app made this even more seamless, allowing me to stay connected throughout my day.
As a recent graduate, it felt overwhelming knowing where to start—not only as a new attending, but as a new locums physician navigating an entirely different landscape. Trying to piece things together on my own felt like sending a distress signal into online forums and hoping someone would respond. LocumOS replaces that uncertainty with a true support system. Beyond the structured resources, it offers a community where physicians at every stage can share real experiences, ask questions, and grow together. Any question, anytime, anywhere—this is the system I know I can rely on.
In this transformational workshop, you’ll discover:
The Physician Freedom Engine that breaks physicians out of the W-2 matrix and gives you a proven roadmap to freedom, income, and autonomy.
How to build your Freedom Engine so you never depend on recruiters, administrators, or corporate medicine to hand you scraps.
The Profit Flywheel of Locums — why every smart contract you sign compounds into more money, more leverage, and more time off, while W-2 doctors keep grinding for less.
The physician-led structure that eliminates bureaucracy and committees — so you control your schedule and income instead of hospital executives.
The Rockstar Locum Formula that makes you indispensable: the simple steps that get you invited back, top-rated, and paid like the elite.
Why systems beat hustle every time — and how to run your locums career like a business instead of staying trapped as an underpaid employee.
The 3-pillar framework (Clarity, Strategy, Execution) behind the Engine — the exact process doctors are using to double their income, cut shifts in half, and reclaim control of their lives.
If this resonates with you, I hope you’ll join me. The conversation will be richer with your presence.

Fellow Physician,
What if your career could grow, even while you weren’t grinding yourself into the ground?
Not the illusion of stability. I mean scalable, system-driven freedom. Even while you’re sleeping, traveling, or actually living your life.
A few years ago, I was trapped in the W-2 matrix.
80-hour weeks. Endless night shifts. Administrators breathing down my neck. Every decision controlled by someone else.
I hadn’t built a career. I’d built a prison, one with fluorescent lights instead of corner office views.
My biggest regret? Staying stuck in employed medicine for as long as I did. That decision cost me millions, not just in income, but in freedom, in time with family, in the life I should have been living.
Today, my reality is completely different:
Multiple six figures a year in locums income.
Control over my schedule and where I work.
Freedom to say no to toxic administrators.
Time back for my family, passions, and faith.
The ability to live and practice medicine on my terms.
The difference?
I discovered that systems beat burnout. Every. Single. Time.
That’s why I created the Locum Freedom Workshop.
In just 90 minutes, I’ll walk you through the exact 3-step proven process (Clarity, Strategy, Execution) that shows physicians how to escape the W-2 trap, double their income, and reclaim their autonomy without recruiters, without CMGs, and without guesswork.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take control of your career, this is it.
See you inside,

Hi. I'm Ali Chaudhary M.D.
"If we don’t build our own system, we stay stuck in theirs.” — Ali Chaudhary M.D.
I’m Ali Chaudhary M.D. — emergency physician, entrepreneur, and founder of LocumOS.
After years of being overworked, underpaid, and burned out in the traditional medical system, I took a leap and built my own locum practice from scratch. I reclaimed my freedom and increased my income at the same time.
Now, my mission is simple: to liberate physicians from the W-2 trap and hand them the exact roadmap
I used to break free.
During this LIVE Workshop you’re going to learn…
How I escaped being just a cog-in-the-wheel at the hospital and became my own boss.
Why you don't need any business skills to build this (I had zero when I started).
How you can get started with Locums in as littl as 30 days
How I now work only 8 shifts per month making $300k/yr while most docs grind 14+ shifts/month.
How I never ask for vacation time and disappear for weeks, whenever I want.
How I went from burnt-out doc to Physician-CEO.
